The major sticking point of the lengthy and sometimes difficult ratio negotiations — whether to count the still-unresolved Minnesota Senate election as a Democratic pickup — appears to have been resolved in Democrats’ favor.
Stabenow said the ratios she disclosed Tuesday assume Democrats will enjoy an effective 59-41 edge in the Senate as a whole, a margin the party would achieve only if they win Minnesota.
Democrats pushed for ratios that assume that Democrat Al Franken won the Minnesota election, a concession Republicans until now were unwilling to make. Franken led former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman by 225 votes after an exhaustive recount, the state Canvassing Board announced last week.
